Section
History: Originally
this area was considered part of the Red River Subsection of the Twin Cities
Section and was basically inactive. The energy boom in the 1970’s caused a
significant increase in the number of electrical engineers in this
area. Several engineers decided it would be beneficial to form a new
subsection to serve new and existing members in the area. Sometime
in August 1977 three engineers combined their resource to start the process
of forming a new subsection. They were Matt Schwarz (SSR), Don Hinkle (Finley),
and Bob Newell (Basin Electric). A petition signed by 21 local IEEE members
was submitted to National in November 1978 to form the Missouri Slope
Subsection of the Twin Cities Section, and our status as a subsection was
approved April 1979. As membership
numbers grew it was decided to become a separate section altogether. So in
December 1984 a petition signed by 50 members was submitted to National to
form the Missouri Slope Section. That was approved February 22, 1985. |
